ObjectivesTo evaluate the imaging features of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant glioma and to assess the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prediction of IDH mutation in patients with glioma.MethodsA systematic search of Ovid-MEDLINE and EMBASE up to 10 October 2017 was conducted to find relevant studies. The search terms combined synonyms for glioma', IDH mutation' and MRI'. Studies evaluating the imaging features of IDH mutant glioma and the diagnostic performance of MRI for prediction of IDH mutation in patients with glioma were selected. The pooled summary estimates of sensitivity and specificity and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a bivariate random-effects model. The results of multiple subgroup analyses are reported.ResultsTwenty-eight original articles in a total of 2,146 patients with glioma were included. IDH mutant glioma showed frontal lobe predominance, less contrast enhancement, well-defined border, high apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and low relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) value. For the meta-analysis that included 18 original articles, the summary sensitivity was 86% (95% CI, 79%-91%) and the summary specificity was 87% (95% CI, 78-92%). In a subgroup analysis, the summary sensitivity of 2-hydroxyglutarate magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) [96% (95% CI, 91-100%)] was higher than the summary sensitivities of other imaging modalities.ConclusionsIDH mutant glioma consistently demonstrated less aggressive imaging features than IDH wild-type glioma. Despite the variety of different MRI techniques used, MRI showed the potential to non-invasively predict IDH mutation in patients with glioma. 2-Hydroxyglutarate MRS shows higher pooled sensitivity than other imaging modalities.Key Points center dot IDH mutant glioma showed frontal lobe predominance, less contrast enhancement, well-defined border, high ADC value, and low rCBV value.center dot The diagnostic performance of MRI for prediction of IDH mutation in patients with glioma is within a clinically acceptable range, the summary sensitivity was 86% (95% CI, 79-91%) and the summary specificity was 87% (95% CI, 78-92%).center dot In a subgroup analysis, the summary sensitivity of 2-hydroxyglutarate MRS [96% (95% CI, 91-100%)] was higher than the summary sensitivities of other imaging modalities.
